To the nearest what?



yes ... prior to the early 2000s there use to be a thing called a pay phone.. in the 90s as teen you surely didnt have your own cellphone. You had a beeper possibly or after 18 to 20 you or your friends.. definitely someone had a beeper that you use to beep someone to give them a call. If you were out and about you drove to the nearest pay phone (.25 per call).


The joke was that they barely exist any more. Maybe at some bigger train stations.
